Hearing Noises in Your Attic? You May Have Nuisance Raccoons in Your Attic!

It's that time of year again if you are hearing noises in your attic or bedroom walls you could have a raccoon living with you. You have probably had them there all winter. Now that the female is getting close she's getting grumpy, actually down right miserable. Like any other pregnant female she's blaming the male. lol

You'll know when she's ready to have them as she will kick the male out. I usually sounds like two dogs going at it, as the male doesn't want to spend the night outside. Never mind find a new place. He'll probably spend a few days just hanging out on the roof. Till one of your neighbours I'll say hey Joe you know you got a raccoon on your roof? If by chance the male raccoon does wander off. You'll then think all is well it'll be quiet for about a week.

After 2 1/2 to 3 months the baby raccoons will be wandering out with mom raccoon. Where they now become a physical threat because they are raccoon babies looking all cute, furry and cuddly, making your young ones want to try to pick them up. As the babies raccoons aren't like mommy with her built in time clock where she only comes out at night. they don't know any better and can come out as early as supper time. Raccoons are rabies carriers, they have very sharp teeth and claws. Put that together with the baby being scared they will attack.

The very first squirrel hazard we like everyone to know about is that squirrels are the cause of more than 30,000 fires every year to home and business across the U.S., due to the gnawing of wires, then comes the fact that homeowners insurance doesn't cover damages created by squirrels because their consider rodents.
